Blessings

It is written in the Book of Malichi that if you pay your tithes that the LORD will open the floodgates of Heaven in blesings for you; I have always believed that those blessings were to be spiritual in nature; until recently!!

I am a faithful tithe payer, but recently with a change in employment and being out of work for a couple of weeks, things got to be a little tight financially. I made a decision that I would pay my tithe no matter how tight the money looked and know that somehow everything would work out. I am writing to tell you tonight that the LORD keeps His promises, even those written thousands of years ago. He honors those who honor Him, and I am so thankful for the blessings I have received within the past couple of weeks.

First, as I wrote in my previous post, I have finally got a direction from the LORD about moving out of state and planning for the move in advance. But I was wondering how I was going to save, and more importantly, how was I going to be able to make ends meet when it seemed that everything was gone before I even received it? Well, my hours at work have increased dramatically. Not only that, but my car will be paid off next month, AND my car insurance premium will drop over $100.00 for the next pay cycle due to my good driving record!
This relief couldn't come at a better time!

Some would say that all of these are coincidences and has nothing to do with God:
But I tell you honestly and truthfully that Coincidences are when GOD wants to remain Anonymous! When you love GOD with all your heart, mind, soul and strength; you live a life that will bear testimony of Him. As you honor Him in everything and do as you would do in His presence at all times, the burdens you have will be lifted.

Granted, most of the time the LORD will bless you with patience to endure suffering, and wisdom, peace in the midst of trial, and other spiritual attributes, but I now understand that occasionally, when your need is great, and when you least expect it, that if you continue to pay your tithe, the LORD has given a promise that He is bound to you, and that He will bless you in all ways, and that not only means spiritual maturity, but it also means that your temporal needs will be met in a way that you least expect it!

God Bless!
